As a general principle, you should use the most private access modifiers
that are sufficient. We can always make methods / fields _more_ visible, but
it's much harder to remove / change functionality once it's been exposed to
other components.
W.r.t. refactoring, I agree with Mark: a large-scale refactoring of access
modifiers should happen in a separate PR, not here.
